The first recorded mention of the gate as a clay gate dates back to 1362. The name derives from the clay pits that existed in this area outside the city wall at that time. In 1454, the gate complex received a foregate. Between the main gate and the foregate stood a fortified water mill, which remained in use until the 19th century. After the gate lost its military function, the five-story main tower was demolished in 1843. The actual gate was demolished in 1888. The secondary towers of the foregate, designed as round towers, survived.

With the remaining 2 kilometers of the original city walls, Tallinn boasts one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. It is largely this system of walls and towers that gives the Old Town its fairytale charm.

Construction of the new Catherine Palace began on July 25, 1715. Peter and Catherine visited the unfinished residence on several occasions, but after the Tsar's death in 1725, Catherine no longer showed any interest in the seaside estate. The ballroom, bearing Catherine's monogram and its lavish stucco decoration (attributed to Heinrich von Bergen), survived, while many other parts of the interior were redesigned.

In the Danish King's Garden you will find a beautiful view of the Lower Town, as well as the three monk sculptures, a café in the castle wall, the "Red Lion" cannon and the museum in the Maids' Tower.

The upper town is well worth seeing and it is fun to stroll along here.
